Congrats Fishfinger! What cycle was it for you?

Yeh I'd say you ov'd on day 12 or 13 twinkle, if I've read your days right! Hope you caught it!

Havetea god yes, I was thinking the same thing earlier on today, I'm sick of sex feeling like a chore now, the first couple of times a month is fun, but then I just feel I'm doing it because I have to. Trying really hard this month to stick to EOD, so I'll be well and truly fed up of it soon!

Ooh blondie my AF is due on the 23rd too, I haven't ov'd yet though as I have a pretty short luteal phase.

twinkletoes09 · 12/07/2014 06:09

Blonde !! Let's hope this is it then af for me is due about the 25th and I couldn't possible wait that long i may try with a frer next Friday here's hoping good luck to everyone loving your daily updates x

Hello all!!
Thought I'd posted in here...but obs not!
Is it OK to join you lovely ladies?
I'm ttc#2 already got DS who is 3 (nearly 4), quite an old bird at 35 (if you believe that sort of thing!)
Only on cycle 2 but the exciting news is that I've had my first EVER OPK pos!!! Didn't even happen last time - but obs it did!!
Full steam ahead really!
Small issue in that will be going to bils wedding about the same times I'll have POAS! I'll either be able to get very drunk or have to pretend!

Good luck to every one and congrats fishfinger!

Life2012 · 13/07/2014 19:23

So AF showed up yesterday & on to cycle 3 we go!!!!

HaveTeaWillSurvive · 13/07/2014 19:38

Aww Flowers Life

Glass of Wine and onwards to #3

dildoos · 13/07/2014 20:41

May I join you all please? TTC #2 cycle 40 and losing hope! AF has arrived today and feeling a little fed up. I range between excited at day 14 onwards to depressed from day 1-14 x

pinpan · 14/07/2014 00:35

Aww dildoos, that sounds tough. Brew

I tested on Sunday with a FRER and got a BFN, so I think I'm probably out, and onto cycle 4. AF supposed to be due right about NOW but don't really feel like it's on its way yet. Just as I'd got used to having shorter cycles, I bet they just go and get longer again!

MaMaPo · 14/07/2014 03:01

I POASed this morning - bfn, which means my weird bleeding last week was AF, five days early and accompanied by weird symptoms. So the plan now is buy some opks and get stuck into the next cycle. So I'm with you, life!

dildoos, welcome! Your journey sounds tough. Glad to have you here.

FizzyBoobly · 14/07/2014 06:51

Welcome dildoos and pyrowall! Let's hope that joining this thread gives you both some good luck.

Life and MaMaPo, wishing you both the best of luck in this new cycle

Pinpan, don't give up hope, it's not over til AF shows up. Fingers crossed for you. According to FF I'm due AF today too, but It's usually a couple of days either way. We only DTD once last month and am almost certain AF will arrive, so will try and resist POAS and wasting a stick. Been feeling crampy on and off the last week but that doesn't mean anything!

dildoos · 14/07/2014 07:33

Thank you all for your warm welcomes.
Agreed pin pan not over til af shows her ugly face and I hope she doesn't for you.
Ovulation sticks are a wonderful invention it gives you a positive when you pee on something and makes me feel just as excited as a bfp Smile (yep I'm crazy )
Hello to you all and sorry for the afs that have arrived that's rubbish! BrewThanks

pinpan · 14/07/2014 07:45

Spotting n light cramps now so I think it probably is all over. On the plus side, my cycle hasn't changed too much in length so I have a vague idea what's going on. On to the next one!

smogsville · 14/07/2014 08:31

Another AF! FML. Happy Monday morning everyone.

MaMaPo · 14/07/2014 10:11

Wine for smogsville, even if it is Monday morning.

Ordered my opks and stuff - time to work out wtf is going on! And actually it's probably a good thing I didn't get a BFP this cycle as I really must have a smear test done, and I dunno if you can do them when pregnant. Plus I have a wine tasting weekend away with friends this weekend. I am keeping positive!

KeeperOfTheZoo · 14/07/2014 12:43

Not posted for a couple of weeks, sorry for all the ladies that got visited by the witch.

No idea what's going on with my cycles as I've not been off the pill for long but if we assume they're going to be roughly 28 days then I should be due AF today... Had weird cramps/pains/bloating for a couple of weeks but put them down to ov/hormone re-balancing.... I have relented and ordered some sticks to pee on with tomorrow's online shop so if nothing showing by Wednesday morning I will probably POAS to try to find out either way...

I guess this is where my theory of not temping/charting/OPK-ing kind of falls apart - I am trying not to put the pressure on me and DH too much so we're just DTD EOD throughout the whole month, but then I don't know how many DPO I am, did I ov at all, is it even worth POAS? Oh the joys...!

Onwards and upwards!

fishfingerSarnies · 14/07/2014 15:41

Boo to all tha AF's that showed up... Stay positive girls on to the next month!

Personally zoo I think it'd nice to not keep track too much does keep the pressure off and means uou can shag for snagging sake and not just because it's the right time. Hope it works out for you. But every one I'd different about what helps them.

Crossing fingers for every one am I allowed to still post on here? I'm checking in regularly I know some bfp's will be coming soon. All this sunshine drink pims and get snagging Im already missing the pims.xx

HaveTeaWillSurvive · 14/07/2014 16:26

Of course fishfinger we need positive tales of BFPs to keep our spirits up Smile

slightlyconfused85 · 14/07/2014 18:40

I got a bfn tonight. I.think I may have tested a bit early but even so I.thought maybe, but not. My dd has been an absolute horror today and I was swearing blind that is be glad never to have another!! But really I am disappointed

pyrowall · 14/07/2014 18:58

Sorry to everyone that hasn't had good news over the weekend.

My OPK was proper positive yesterday and is now negative - I hope that's normal??

I'm taking it that I'm now 1DPO and now have the long 2ww

One thing was was worrying me was the absolutely agonising left sided pain that has been building up over the past few days which has now abated somewhat but is still hanging about. Does anyone think this might be something to worry about? I did take a HPT as so to rule out ectopic and that was neg.

Thanks ladies!

ladyflower23 · 14/07/2014 19:19

Hi pyrowall. Maybe ovulation pain?

pyrowall · 14/07/2014 19:29

Possibly but I thought that only lasted a shortish time - a few hours - this has been a few days. I could barely walk this morning due to the pain!

I'll happily be told otherwise as that would mean nothing was wrong!

pinpan · 14/07/2014 19:39

slightlyconfused, I know what you mean - my DD beat records for saying "NO" and grizzling constantly today, and if I'd had a BFP I'd have been thinking what have I done? But still disappointed about BFN anyway!

alien11 · 14/07/2014 20:41

Ooo can I join ? :-)
dD is 3 in September and had my coil out today for Ttc no.2.
Not actively trying yet as doc needed to check my records for rubella history(?) also want to let my body get back to normal.

fififolle · 15/07/2014 06:41

Oh ffs! Strong signs of ov yesterday, early bed suggested BD to DH who said no. He says it's off putting how I never tried it before wanting #2 now am trying much more....aargh!
Not completely true about me not trying to BD before but it was really getting to me that the Mirena was still in when I've been waiting so long for DH to agree to no 2. Our DS is 4.

FizzyBoobly · 15/07/2014 07:40

Oh fififolle that must be so frustrating for you. My DH can probably relate to that too!

Just got a BFN Sad Cycle is usually 29-30 days and today is CD31 so I'm fully expecting AF to arrive today. Dunno why I wasted the stick to be honest!

smogsville · 15/07/2014 08:48

Thanks MaMaPo. Most annoying thing is I now need to plan in next day 21, 24 and 27 blood tests and it's looking like some of them fall either on Sunday or Monday. Obviously there aren't appts on Sundays and Monday and Tuesdays are my only days in the office! It's getting a bit tricky trying to explain why I have to level early for appts when I theoretically have weds-fri free. How I am supposed to find out if I'm ovving if I can't get tested on the right day? But if I keep going on the right day I may as well advertise TTC to my boss, she's not stupid. Argh. Tbh I don't think I can be ovving otherwise it really should have happened by now, but of course you have to establish this from tests before discussing next steps (clomid for example?).

Fifi, I feel your pain. Just found myself scowling at a preg woman opposite me on tube. Then I thought, maybe it's her first in which case, allow Shock
